We had a HBHS 1st XV player from last year join this week, Inga Kokohu.
What position is he playing? He alternated between no.8 and hooker for the 1st XV.
I went to watch the Marist-Melville game. Melville actually kept them out for 10-15 mins.
-
He came off the bench and played as a loose forward. I don't know how long we will have him. He has been in OZ playing S G Ball League for the Dragons. Not a good year so far for Melville but they will probably be still too good for the best Div 1 side at the end of the year. Our current 1st Five was recently at Melville. Haven't seen Harry Lafatuanai on any team sheets, hopefully his mates get in his ear to come back to Te Rapa.

Is that Charlie Faumuina I see lining up for Papatoetoe tomorrow?

Highlights from Petone's win over OBU on Saturday.
Petone's side featured a raft of current/former Super Rugby and NPC players including Harry Godfrey, Riley Higgins, Ngani Punvai, Losi Filipo, TJ Clarke, Belgium Tuatagaloa and Kaliopasis Uluilakepa. Petone also have Brad Shields, Peter Lakai and Logan Henry in their ranks so pretty stacked if all those players were available at the same time.

A quick scan of Wellington rugby and these are the following Canes players that are playing Club Rugby this week.
Wainuiomata: Peter Umaga-Jensen
Petone: Harry Godfrey, Ngani Punivai
Tawa: Siale LauakiThe Petone backline looks stacked this week with everyone apart from Max Hosking having played NPC or Super level rugby.

There was a stream of this game and Petone with 5 professionals in their backline completely ran away with the game in the second half. Godfrey, Punivai and Clarke were electric. The latter has been in great touch for Wellington over the last couple seasons and could be a great replacement for Moorby at the Canes next year. Godfrey showing why the Canes should be looking at him as their future first five. Reminds me so much of a young Beaudy, his acceleration to the line on attack is something else. He’s got a way higher ceiling than Aiden Morgan.

I heard Te Rapa lost their game in the 80th minute after an intercept. Had a run around at Ngaruawahia at the Prezzies ten a side. On the couch now aching. Old Jimmy from Old boys Tech has come back for another year. The oldest regular active player in NZ club rugby at 81.

Huge result in Welly club rugby today, Petone beat Norths 88-14. Future Canes 10 Harry Godfrey at the forefront apparently.
